Introduction
So, Upbeat Giraffe made it into stable, and the Novakid race is one of the many things added to the game. You decide to try them out, eager to see their accents and how their wild west culture makes them percieve objects. Unfortunately, they have no specific analysis lines to say, and just state objects' normal descriptions when analyzing. You just shrug it off, thinking that at least villagers will have things to say to you. But guess what, they also have nothing special to say - they just say the one single default speech line, never recognizing you as the Novakid are still an incomplete race.
This is where this mod comes in. Seeking to fill the apparent gap between Novakids and other races, it will make villagers of other races recognize you as a Novakid and make comments on it, while sometimes talking about their personal lives.
Mod Content
This mod is still at its alpha stage right now. The full scope of it is to make both villagers speak unique things to Novakids and for Novakids to have unique things to say when inspecting other objects instead of merely stating their descriptions - which, in most of the cases, yields a "You don't say?" reaction from players.
As of v6, most races have a total of 40 things to say to a Novakid. However, Humans have only 21 things to say, while the Hylotl have a meager four. With the objective of having villagers with assigned cities speak the same ammount of things they do to other races completed, this mod's future updates will focus more on analysis speech lines. And maybe a few other things...
As of v6, the current objects your Novakid character has unique things to say are:
Apex objects
Art Throphy objects(paintings)
Avian objects
Crafting objects(crafting tables, campfires, etc)
Farmables(crops, seeds)
Floran objects
Flags
Glitch objects
Human objects
Outpost objects
Ship objects
Spawners
Interracial Diplomacies
The Novakid's relationships with other racies varies, not only with each generic race, but with each clan as well, for better or for worse.
The Apex have a tense relationship with the Novakid. An ambassador has insulted Big Ape, whether it was intentional or accidental, and as such relationships with the MiniKnog are very sour. Despite this, a couple of civillians are still a bit interested in the star people, and envy their lifestyle.
The Avians are similarly divided. Due to the infamous incident of a Novakid asking an Avian priest if Kluex was real, the Stargazers in general have a very negative relationship with the Novakid. Atheist Avians, however, are very friendly to them, most citing such incident as hilarious.
Due to the Novakid's stellar bodies, the Floran cannot eat them, a trait they share with the Glitch, so the two races can get along without killing each other. However, there are occasional conflicts between the two, as while the Floran do not eat the Novakid, they sure as heck love eating their steed, which naturally can make a couple of Novakid explorers very mad.
Despite being rather similar in terms of technologies, the Glitch have an intense rivalry with the Novakid. The two races are constantly pointing each other's flaws and attempting to look better, despite not being in an actual war. However, in some cases, the two races do get along then they need to team up and fight a bigger adversary, but unfortunately such cases are not quite common.
Relationships with the Humans are not commonplace and the two races rarely meet, though when they do, they tend to be amicable. Sometimes the two will clash, but overall they get along.
The Hylotl have the same case as Humans, though without the amicable part. While the two do not hate each other or have a rivalry, the Hylotl in general aren't very fond of the Novakid and think that they're unfit for patrolling sectors. Similarly, many Novakid see the Hylotl as uptight snobs who think they're the best thing since solarium stars.
